Flash back to March this year when Francesca & Jamie held their wedding at Chevin Lodge Hotel & Spa which is set in the beautiful countryside on the outskirts of Otley. This gorgeous Yorkshire countryside wedding venue has the most beautiful grounds and is just a short distance from Surprise view which has some of the best views around. I joined Francesca in the morning, the bridal prep was taking place in one of the log cabins, The girls had gone to the hairdressers bright and early then headed back for make up and finishing touches.

I love dogs at weddings, Jamie and Francesca had brought along their little King Charles Spaniel who was like one of the wedding party and treated to a Wedding suit Neckachief, he looked adorable!! Once the girls were ready i left them to have a drink together and headed over to meet Jamie and the groomsmen. They were enjoying a drink out on the terrace which overlooks the lake in the grounds.

The ceremony was held in the garden lounge with Francesca and her dad making their grand entrance through the doors at the back of the ceremony room.

The weather was amazing for March, it was so hot!! the sun shone all day. We did the group photographs outside by the lake, then i headed out with just the bride and groom to grab some beautiful portraits before the wedding breakfast.

After the meal the guests relaxed in the gardens, it was a perfect opportunity for us to get some more photographs in the beautiful soft evening sunlight.

To end the day perfectly Jamie and Francesca had their first dance then We headed over for wedding photographs on surprise view at sunset.
